Description The Mioritic has discipline as one of their main characteristics. It is a calm and well-mannered dog. As this dog was used as a herd protector, he is very attached to family and goes all the way when protecting those he is attached to. Because of this dog's ability to bond strongly with his master, Mioritic dog training should only be started once the Mioritic puppy is already accustomed to the owner/trainer. The combined strength and loyalty of the Mioritic recommend the breed as a good choice for guard dogs, pets, and flock dogs. The Mioritic is also recognized as one of the bravest dogs in the world.[citation needed] He will not refuse a fight with a fox, wolf or even a bear, and will continue to fight until death.
